I am trying to make an API call to create a credential but is failing with error “Request body is empty, or format is invalid.”
I did not modify anything except the endpoint and Token. I am not sure what mistake I am doing here. 
documentation referred # https://api.commvault.com/docs/SP32/api/cv/OpenAPI3/create-credential/

 

 

import requests
import json

url = "https://commvault.newblr.com/commandcenter/api/V4/Credential"

payload = json.dumps({
  "accountType": "CLOUD_ACCOUNT",
  "vendorType": "HITACHI_VANTARA_HCP_S3",
  "name": "HCPBucketuser01",
  "userAccount": "Y3ZidWNrZXQ",
  "password": "dc06698f0e2e75751545455899adccc3",
  "description": "API test",
  "security": {
    "owner": {
      "user": {
        "id": 0,
        "name": ""
      },
      "userGroup": {
        "id": 0,
        "name": ""
      }
    },
    "associations":
      {
        "user": {
          "id": 0,
          "name": ""
        },
        "userGroup": {
          "id": 0,
          "name": ""
        },
        "permissions": {
          "permissionId": 0,
          "permissionName": "",
          "categoryId": 0,
          "categoryName": "",
          "type": "ALL_CATEGORIES",
          "exclude": True
        },
        "isCreatorAssociation": True
      }
    ]
  }
})
headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Accept': 'application/json',
  'Authtoken': 'QSDK ******'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload,  verify=False)

print(response.text)

hello @Gaurav Shrivastava 
i hope you are doing well ! 
 

This error means the CV server is not receiving the payload correctly.

Could you please check if the JSON payload matches the structure in the documentation?
 

I also recommend using a testing tool like postmaan to determine the issue in your code or with the API endpoint itself.
